I suspect Rayne left after she got hurt because she got homesick then. It's not that weird, really. You have to realize that these girls are still kids, after all. I kinda wish she'd gone to UMBC or Loyola-Maryland, though! Maybe they didn't come knocking?
As for Goodman, here's something about the big girls you might want to consider, from none other than Geno Auriemma. He commented that post players generally take a couple of years to take where they need to get to, and that Tina Charles (yes, the great Tina Charles!) "was basically useless her first two years." I think Annalicia is just about on schedule, all things considered. She probably hadn't been expected to start this season. I wonder if Coach is holding Peyton out until conference play or if she is still really gimpy.
I like the freshmen so far. I wish he would use Pittman a little bit more. She has some snaky moves that remind me a bit of Jazmon Gwathmey. I think when Bailey Smith can hang onto the ball a little better (she sometimes plays too fast for herself, just like Maddie did as a freshman) she'll be good, and Tynes is good around the basket.
